here that some, in order to get their
claims through former commissions and
courts, have paid as high as $4,000 one
way or another. Several cattlemen who
can count their thousands by hundreds are
on the black list, and some interesting de-
velopments are expected. Ninety days have
been fixed upon By the court to be taken
up In the Investigation and trial of the
cases. Deputy Clerk Henry Efel opened
his office to-day and said he would COM
